Did everyone hve to give up caffiene?
I still drink ice tea with caffeine. I tried drinking coffee and had such reflux it wasn't even worth it. But it was cafeteria coffee, which kinda sucks. Gonna try coffee again at some point.

Sushi
I'm nearly 2 months out and thinking of sushi for lunch tomorrow. I've had rice no problem. And I don't have issues with taking big bites, either.

Too soon to try?
One of the girls I work with "accidentally" got pregnant at I believe 6 months out and is having a perfectly healthy pregnancy so far.

In need of nighttime snack ideas
Cottage cheese and fruit. I like ricotta with a little cocoa powder and splenda, but I know some people aren't fond of the texture.

What are some things that you cannot eat after surgery that you have before surgery!
I can eat pretty much everything I want. Some really bready things sit heavy in my sleeve. Otherwise the only thing that seems to make me sick is premade SlimFast shakes.

FUPA!
Mine is shrinking but the skin isn't. It's all stretchy and loose like a scrotum.

It works body wraps.
I'd rather just wear a girdle. I started at 365, there's no wrap in existance that's gonna tuck that skin in.

Hurt myself stretching!? How long for no pain?
I pulled some of my scar tissue about 2 weeks out and was in nasty pain when I turned certain ways. Thankfully, it only lasted for a few days. I made sure to call my doc right away, though, just to make sure it was just a pull.

Other mommies...
Well the video never needed to be seen. Everything went fine! And if you're in a good hospital, there's nothing that can go wrong that they won't be able to handle. Have faith. You'll be at home eating yummy yummy chicken broth in no time.

Other mommies...
I made a video for my baby girl and saved it on my computer desktop before I went for my surgery. Couldn't get through it without bawling.

still wanting fast food?
My first week after surgery I was ready to choke someone for a mozzarella stick from Arby's. Don't worry -- the craving passes after a little while.

Anyone Else Have Surgery Right Before Their Birthday?
I had mine 5 days before my 30th birthday. All my friends wanted to go out and party, but I stayed in bed all day and had soup instead. There'll be other birthdays.

Sick of the attention
Preop when people would ask for the "secret", I told them I track everything I eat and they'd look at me in disgust and say that was way too much work. Were they honestly expecting me to tell them to eat bee pollen or something?

Sick of the attention
People at work keep commenting on how "skinny" I am now and I'm just like.... seriously? Yeah, a size 24 is reaaal skinny. @_@

Bat Wings From He££
Yeah I just got an arm slimmer (girdle for your upper arm) on Amazon because my arms have always been huge and flabby. I'm kinda hoping maybe it'll help retract the skin, too. I know people say compression garments don't work, but I had a baby last year and my abdominal skin was loose and jiggling like crazy. I immediately started wearing girdles, and even now at 77lbs down there's no loose skin. Not to say there won't be in another 100lbs, but so far so good!

Special K Protein Shakes
Depends on the specifics of your diet, because the Special K shakes are high in sugar.

Skin tightening lotion
I use Philosophy emulsion lotion. So far so good, but I'm only down 75 with 120 to go.
